The latest Cato Unbound features my essay “From State to Society” on “privatization.” Among other things, I argue that this term doesn’t quite get at what radical libertarians want. Commentary by Leonard Gilroy and Dru Stevenson has been posted. A final comment, by Randal O’Toole, will be posted Tuesday.

Great article, Sheldon. Essays like this could help right-libertarians to reconsider their often knee jerk approval of any kind of privatization. When one authoritarian hierarchy transfers power to another authoritarian hierarchy, the community will still have to contend with authoritarianism. To paraphrase Paul Simon, anyway you look at it we lose.
